SNMP trap daemon snmptrapd

By default, snmptrapd listens for incoming SNMP requests in UDP port 162 for all IPv4 addresses. You can modify the setting by changing its configuration file (by default, snmptrapd.conf) or by passing command line arguments. For more information on this, please refer to section “Configuring SNMP trap daemon snmptrapd (snmptapd.conf)”.

snmptrapd should be started prior to the snmpd.
